On a team with multiple support characters each one's support is less needed. I've been on teams where the idea of a single corr being enough support or having enough control is rather laughable.
Not my main and also what my global was based on. I did reroll the one I was most sentimental about but instead of Claws/regen scrapper I went Claws/wp brute. To me this feels more like the official version.
Ice is one of the strongest sets in terms of control. It is offset by its lack of damage. I know people have talked about it needing to be tweaked, but I don't see it.
Honestly, this is me. I have one tank for the time I want to play that role, but I can easily make more than the two brutes I'm currently running. I might once I get the two I have to 50.
End game wise on a steam rolling team, Rad will feel less useful as activation time on the toggles might become slightly annoying. That's about the only downside to Rad really. I read "leans heavily into the support side" as going Thermal. Either will work. Rad/sonic is one of the only defender rerolls I would do from my previous time playing the game. Never played Thermal, but I don't see how it can't be good for what you want.
Ah, playing the elitist card. FYI, there are people who are actually new to this game and don't spill out the vast knowledge you seem to claim in having.
I feel like I read somewhere eventually a web version of the tool was going to be made, but I can't recall when that statement was made so I don't know how valid it is.
KB can be offset with Hover. DB also has a heal and -tohit. I can see a complaint in that it is DoT heavy where blasters want something with more upfront damage, but I have liked the set so far. Not every set has to be awesome to you.
Atlas outdoors is a slideshow for me. If I enter into any building it becomes fine. This definitely spiked during Memorial Day weekend and hasn't gone back to how it was. I was on before 8:30am on a Sunday and 4 out of 5 instances were full.
I don't see /regen doing +4/+8 until IOs are factored in. Alpha strike won't be kind to that power set as is. If I were trying to min/max a solo sentinel, I would go either Dark/sr or Dark/wp.
I either get the window showing the game isn't responding and or that the game client can't connect. I have closed out the game and gone back in multiple times. While this does happen rather frequently, I've never seen it not login at all. I have spent 15+ minutes trying to get it to work to no avail.
